Sam and Dean were in Portland, Oregon. They were investigating a demon that was supposedly hiding in an abandoned hotel, kidnapping and eating people. They had fought this same demon a year ago, and they thought they got rid of it, but it had come back. Sam was trying to focus on finding and killing the demon, but Dean was thinking about the waitress he had gotten together with the last time they were here, and wondering if she was still around. He tried to leave before the ever-serious Sam saw him, but he was too slow. " Dean, where are you going? We have a demon to fight, remember?"
"Come on, Sammy, the demon's not going anywhere. I, however, am. Besides, you know what they say, 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'".
"Well, are you at least coming back tonight?", he asked, knowing full well he probably wasn't.
"Depends on if I find that waitress tonight."
"She's not the one who maced you, is she?"
"No, that was the bartender in Atlanta. Stop trying to stall me. I'm going now."
Dean did find the waitress-Beth. Unfortunately, he couldn't remember her last name, and he knew that would piss her off. If he pissed her off, she wouldn't be in a partying mood. He sat outside the diner for 15 minutes before he finally remembered her last name. Vogel. Beth Vogel. When Beth saw him, she looked like she'd seen a ghost. Pretty ironic, considering. Her very first words to dean were, "I didn't think I would ever see you again. I've got something I want to show you, in the back."
He went with her, expecting a wild make-out party, or something like that. Instead, she handed him a baby.
"His name is Jacob. I would have named him Dean Jr., if his father had stuck around."
Dean, meanwhile, had gone deathly pale, and looked like he was about to pass out. While he was still trying to get all this through his head-that he had a son-he vaguely heard a door close, and a car drive off, and slowly registered that Beth was no longer standing in front of him, and he was still holding the baby. Finally, his brain turned back on, and he went running after the car.
"BETH! Beth come back!! Beth, you forgot your kid!" But Beth was already 2 miles down the road, and couldn't hear him. Of course she felt horrible leaving her baby with that jerk, but she'd had no choice. Her parents had thrown her out, and the diner was closing down next month. She would be out on her own, and she refused to let Jacob grow up on the streets. He would be better off with dean, wouldn't, he?
